Ensurrecfion In Kentucky.

A epecial from Morehead. KY, says: A
great sensation was caueed Thursday in
court by war of words and recriminations
between D. B. Logan and u. Young. In the
examination as 10 the completely of Grand
Juryman Boone, Logan was exasperated by
u. Young. Logan took up the question
and, 10 answor to Young's romark that his
II .opan's.O character needed investigation,
replied: "And as for you, sir, l have un.
doubted proof of your actions for the last
ten years that will hang you." Pistols were
drawn among friends of both sides. and
many an ominous click was heard resound-
Ing through tho courthouse but the cock
ing of the rifles of the soldiers on guard WAS
heard to echo along the wooden walls of the
flimay structure. An order to load WAS
heard from the outside, and the sound of
the muskets told the excited crowd that the
first move on the part of either party would
be followed by a deadly fire from the troops.
A horrible ARRAY is reported to have taken
place Thursday at place called Dry Creek,
nine miles from Morehead. John Taylor,
Tim Kecton John Vance and Elliott Mar
tin were on their way to court there as wit
nesses TO this term. They were met by a
gang of men masked and AIMED. They
were halted and their business inquired in
to. They refused to tell, when the maskers
opened fire on them, and, after wounding
John Taylor and John Vance and killing
Elliott Martin, they rode of. No reasons
are assigned for the killing, save that these
mems evidence could have damaged some

Report Contradicted.

TUCSON, ARK, Aug. 6.-Advices from
Janos, Chihuahua, Mexico, dated July 26,
say the reports sent out from FL Paso of a
band of Apaches depredating that region
are not true. There has not been single
Apache seen in the vicinity since Geronimos
band surrendered to Gen. Miles nearly o
year ago. There is an organized band of
Mexican outlaws with some Americans who
scour the country stealing and numbering,
but they are not Indians. 1t is not known
whether either McGraw or Vanness Smith
have been killed. To this report from
James, Tucson adds that from most careful
investigation it is absolutely certain that
there is not single San Carlos Apache of
the reservation, much less in Sonora or
chihuahua. There have been but two per-
sons killed by Apaches since Geronimo sur
rendered to Miles, Diehl and Grace. Dur
ing the emuete last June, every Indian who
went ON that raid was driven to surrender
and five have been tried by military court.
1t is believed their sentence is death.

THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND.-The royal preroga-
tive has been exercised onco by Gladstone and
once by Disraoi, but nevor by Queen Victoria.
AS the greatest writer on the English constitution
has said, tho Queen would certainly sign hor own
death warrant wero it laid before her by the Min
isters On her accession contemporanoous histo
rians remarked that the youthful maiden follow
cd the instructions and words OF her Ministers
with an intent exactness; tho literal fidelity at
that ceremony has been followed by fifty years of
intelligent fidelity to the constitution. 1t needed
but suck n reign to sum up and consolidate all the
results of English revolutions, to embody the lib
oral progress of thousand years. to send all arbi-
trary laws to their fossil bed, to make England
what its Laureate has claimed. the Crowned Re-
public The throne from which Eng
land was SO long ruled is now turned to other
purposes altogether. It's political purpose may be
fairly, if paradoxically described as the reverse
of that for which it was founded the throne is
England's defence against monarchy. Were the
throne abolished this year it would surely BIO sue
ceeded by some monarchy either of the German
the American type, planted by revolution.
Evolutionary ages havo determined that complex
England cannot be ruled by any individual. By
alternate revolutions and brides the English peo-
po have turned their throne to historic symbol,
and the royal family into its guardians.-The

The Presidency Of the Mormon
Church.

SALT LAKE. Utah. Aug. 6.-The qucsion
of successorship to the presidency of the
Mormon Church has been settled Temporal
riy by the appearance of an address signed
by MILFORD Woodruff, President ofthe Apos-
ties. He says: "As upon two former occa
sions in our history, the duty and RESPONSE
bility of presiding over and directing the af
fairs of the Church of Jesus Christ in all the
world devolves upon the twelve apostles.
With the blessing of the Lord and the faith
and prayers of His people we hope to do
our duty until we, too. shall be laid to rest
1t has been thought by some that either
George @. Cannon or Jos. Smith, nephew of
the original Joseph, would assume the lead
ership. Woodruff is in the regular line Of
succession, and his address assuming con-
troll would indicate there is to be no depar-
ture from the order. Woodruff is eighty
years old and man of mediocre ability.
He has been in hiding two years, and is still
out of sight to all save the faithful

No MICROBES IN ToBAcCo.-There is one
thing about tobacco that has always sur
prised microscopists, and which is highly ia
vorab9e to that distinguished weed. 1t is

placed under The microscope. There is an
entire absence of micro-organisms of every
description. While almost all things in ma
ture, even some of the acids, ara alive with
animated Observation-Disclosures, animalculD,
microbes or fungi of some kind-tobacco is
entirely free of everything of the kind. 1t
presents nothing to the microscope but its
iibres and texture-its organic structure.
Nor does this condition appear to change.
All through the different processes of its
manufacture. after being removed from the
stock, it presents the same appearance. The
microbes appear to shun tobacco. probably
because OF its destructive qualities to the
lower organisms.-&. Louis Republican.
